i. make up your mind to. double. up. their hip and healthy and move in just a costume trained superfoods. that's it for me super food means what does you get because super foods are super for my body is. king with berries and chia seeds just 3 of the countless super foods in big demand due to their nutritional credentials is good only for the point is what a person needs done there is complete confusion on that issue and for years and now
1:31 am
you see these products where we're told you need this if you eat this you'll get well or you won't get sick of it but it's not really true for them so much. how does super food hype impact on local people in countries where the products are actually grown. sons the continued increase in demand have the potential to even destroy entire ecosystems. densities we're on the road to disaster here if something doesn't change and the region will turn into a desert. this soup of food craze started as his so often the case in the u.s. and now seafood restaurants are at home in cities around the world they sit dishes with exotic ingredients such as a cottage cheese and kino. which come with the promise of making new slim healthy
1:32 am
and happy. customers in this restraint and bottom geminid like it. looks healthy and you know you're doing something good for your body just. i like to eat a lot but i like to eat healthy too this is a perfect mix of this lots of healthy stuff here and it's good to have a change from cafeterias other places intentionally. killed in clown recognized nation opened his business about a year ago. he came up with the recipes himself. his aim is to offer a healthy alternative to fish financed food. yes this is another one of the reasons why we're here is because it's much easier to eat stuff that's bad for you than eating a healthy way we want to change that and with the term super food you attract more customers than if you call yourself a beast dro for healthy food and. food here is served in special bowls
1:33 am
greek ensue combined with cold months most of the rule the food is supposed to look tasty and have an excel sheet such. as sure the nice thing about a bowl like this is that there are a lot of individual foods in it a that makes it nice and colorful and being it's good for your body because each individual ingredient contains minerals and vitamins i phone but it's not stuff spectrum and that makes it a perfect meal it's not perfect. and some of these are kidney bean balls. chickpeas. yum and the info here we have in ancient inca grain from south america. that on the other is is a grain that is cooked with water and contains loads of healthy proteins in their stuff and. because of the put it you know because super foods really. all they
1:34 am
cracked up to be the protein content of kenya for example is comparable to every j. millet's. came one has more fun about. the millet has more than twice as much ion. fluorine club as a lot of his ingredients at the balkan wholesale market which boasts local products and farm products like sweet potatoes to as always quality flush inside the freshness of the products is important to florian when he shopping. it's always i need to herbs like there goes. your come to the right place. the mix is key to florence menu he combines local fruits and veggies with foods from faraway lands. do this or something that's going every for any vegetable has its own nutritional composition that's why it's so nice to combine the local with
1:35 am
the exotic because many diverse nutrients vitamins and minerals come together and they form a very complex meal so some come and that's great for the body but in couples that's. thought healthy doesn't necessarily mean sustainable to super food served up in germany come from countries thousands of kilometers away. again why is a good example among the major produces is bolivia the variety that sells best in germany came lot right out is harvested on salt flats. in teaching as peoples of the south american and his highlands were already farming cane was 6000 years ago a new tree in which grain has always been a staple food here. you are you know this is a sustainable farming consultant for years he's been watching how cain was cultivation his due. event in the region. after using.
1:36 am
these relatively sailing in poor soils with little rainfall we find a crop factor in deliver fantastic eels. doesn't end with the llamas it's an ingenious or ideal form of production and it's good for the region's economy. for these if you are. but that's changing shops used to provide food for the llamas and protect the soil from erosion after the harvest the animals came to graze llama dung provided fresh new chance since the king want them started farmers have been pushing for maximum yields while the sprout plant has been cleaned. i was shocked by the fact that 152200000 hectares of llama grazing land has been ploughed up for keene one. or 2 but. there are no chemo fields as far as the eye can see rising
1:37 am
to man has led to massive expansion in the plants cultivation team in the fields has left the soil without the vegetation that had protected it from wind of roshan . as a regular north. does and when you walk along here you only see annual wage growing now they're completely unprotected. ultimately what we're doing is promoting the development of high land desert. farmers won't have the conditions they need to produce here so people have to go elsewhere. as one doesn't do. that change is already making itself felt with crop yields declining some farmers have already given up and gone to the cities to make a living as unskilled labor is and bolivia is just one place where superfood monoculture has left the man's. thought. this.
1:38 am
was in this is the problem we see here with keen what is basically going on everywhere around the world to do it's own in the moment. take the avocado for example as a super food it's grown as a monoculture on large farmers but it's the able to keep. ones profits become the priority short term economic interests override everything else. but hardly anyone really thinks about what will become of these ecosystems. people also live just. massive demand for avocados has led to problems in countries that grow the fruit just as it has with king but here in bolivia within a decade the area of land used to grow avocados increased by 30 percent with 1500 liters of water and now needed per kilo vegetables in germany such as lettuce and
1:39 am
tomatoes require far less. enormous single crop farms especially in dr regions only ensure short term high yields raising cain was the traditional way is based on a different principle using less land yielding better quality. be a colony found a small plot of land it takes a 2 weeks to harvest the field by hand since tractors and now used to grow more easily everywhere in the flatlands there are a few people left who want to tour on hill farms yet this is the final of. a myth mercer's ever knows that this is the way his work the fields back then most of our grandparents towards our parents and our parents taught us ok. we have to
1:40 am
plow the stuff every year are these clean or roots. yes exactly the old roots and you leave these tweaks here. and yes we rake them using tools like this. i think that's a way of working the soil. you don't care for. an advantage . it's a traditional system that's been practiced for centuries. why now here for even here there's room for improvement in terms of sustainability. but compared to the mechanized farming down in the lower than plains this is more environmentally friendly. the soil has time to regenerate between the 2 harvests he on the hillsides the plants and large the individual kernels plant. yes if you and then marsha endymion 3rd see this clones here it's yielding really
1:41 am
well. look at the seed heads the kernels are nice and ripe but our standards these are the best grains we store them and use them as. your camille says brought along some keen march from a german supermarket. he wants to show the farmers how the grain make rohini is sold in consumed in europe. the commerce of posts it is clear how do you feel about germany and europe suddenly discovering keane was a superfood it was really meant to suppress a prayer the because. their national product look good and not is that our product didn't used to be well known. get the new word hadn't got around yet about how much protein it has. if used to cost less than rice and pastor. like you know not this year and they said king well wasn't worth that much rush
1:42 am
back in our little sum of product honest as farm is we're a little proud that kin was now known all over the world either i knew there were more in the end. i had to do for the farmers compare the keen laugh from the german supermarket with what they've just harvested from their own field. is the premier of the box as class one but even our class 2 is bigger than their civic of theirs a form of. i'd say it's class 3. in june and these little ones here they're nothing that's chicken feed as there is in this new. pope is done with this field for today further up the hillside she has another plot of rodney king one that needs harvesting. to.
1:43 am
win the super food game started in 24 st the prize for king well went through the roof back then even small villages like sierra grounded profited from this trend. it's time to just 7 families. they were able to buy new equipment such as a small grain sorting machine. that made work easier in 2015 just a year later the market price collapsed again. how much would you have to earn from keene was grown on the hillside for it to pay off. they'd have to pay us a lot more for our production costs to be covered. for us we need to feed our families. let alone things in the country. the development of the price fixing what and bolivia looks like a roller coaster ride in 2014 p.
1:44 am
to just over $3000.00 a ton but only 3 years later it plummeted to a lower value than before the game began. the expansion of kenya farming on the plains also lead to major fluctuations in its price. and the hill farmer suffer because they can't compete and don't get paid more despite the additional effort involved in working on the hillsides. among. the farming is sustainable with high quality yields but this way of working the land is at risk of dying out european consumers are relatively unaware of the farmers' problems while the super food selections in a supermarkets keeps on growing between 20142016 the turnover generated by super foods in germany rose from 1400000 to 42600000 euros the best seller
1:45 am
is chia which accounts for 62 percent of sales but what's best to buy from such a large selection. consumed mentors as a sooners are completely confused so they're vulnerable to advertising based on faith and sports often it's like religion. if i show up promising a miracle and people in need of orientation are ready to believe it that's the concept behind super foods from super fast. doctor and new traditions specialist mathias riedel inspects the super foods on. shelves of the hamburg supermarkets ginger tried berries chia customers find a wide variety of supposedly healthy products. the list of ingredients shows what's really inside. you could think this is the natural food section. but here we have cranberries. you don't see it right away but they have
1:46 am
an extra 40 percent sugars. and sunflower oil which isn't the best oil. so this bag of cranberries has more sugar in it than a bar of chocolate almost 70 percent off as well so they are anything but healthy as. she is seeds containing the very best nutrients but they usually consumed in very small quantities is a lincoln from super foods are just a diversion from the real problem the german diet isn't healthy enough. and adding 15 grams of chia seeds daily won't change it but that's exactly what happens chia seeds are something of an alibi food to make up for an otherwise unhealthy diet. 15 grams provide even less omega 3 fatty acids than for example
1:47 am
a generous portion of walnuts. finest. flax seeds could be another alternative teachy out each has more protein and about the same proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids although when it comes to calcium flax seed comes complete. industry is eager to join this soup if you trained even long term staples such as ready to serve cereals and now being supplemented with exotic grains and berries that isn't . here are 2 examples of what's going wrong. if they've got far too much sugar and just a smidgen of cranberry to let the consumer know look it's got fruit and a fork to show that the percentage of cranberries is well below 5 percent or so negligible. the key here is the high level of sugar it's unhealthy and
1:48 am
neutralizes anything beneficial the dried cranberries contribute cranberry for. lingonberries arnold tramper is the growth in europe for example the sugar content in cranberries is low bad juju in a relatively sour taste. to the dr version. superfood isn't a registered trademark but it does just a positive effect on consuming health that's not always the case. there's a nice example 100 percent natural doesn't mean 100 percent healthy. this small portion for 2 euro's gives you 47 grams of sugar per 100 grams of product the size that isn't so eating this little bad phone means nearly 25 grams of sugar is that's the world health organizations maximum daily intake recommendation organised so that's pretty much it for the day if you look at some cons of. things trish an

so-called super foods come from countries with farming regulations are not as strict as in germany sample measurements have shown that some may contain pesticides and heavy metals this lab in brain and specializes in detecting hazardous substances and food are not the products and has tested the lungs of goji berries. during pesticide screening we check for the presence of about $200.00 different pesticides these include insecticides fungus sides and herbicides we also screen for for heavy metals. cadmium arsenic and mercury in them curriculum often with primarily found insecticides in higher concentrations in the office. and not just in goat she buries samples from other institutes of indicated the presence of pesticides and mineral oil in rural cocoa she is c s and the ring

while with this it's like fertilizer. this is the same time it's food for llamas right. that's the best thing for the cane walk we just have to take all these woody bits and sprinkle them on the field when we sow we should try that. need to produce everything biomass fertilizer on the piece of land itself then it's sustainable and at the same time we also have to reforest. people are quite skeptical but that's always the case or something new. but people are listening. isn't this just a place like this makes me optimistic that something can be done this replacement there must not encroach. in the small town of salinas preparations are underway for a market fish with
